At long last, the start of a new WNBA season has arrived.
Fresh off the first title in franchise history, the Liberty enter the 2025 season as the team to beat, and they will begin the campaign with a Saturday showdown against the Aces. Caitlin Clark and the Fever will also start the season on Saturday with a matchup against Angel Reese and the Sky.
Napheesa Collier and the Lynx will look to shake off the sting of last year's Game 5 loss in the WNBA Finals. Minnesota will face No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers and the Wings on Friday night.
